In nowadays aging society, power wheelchairs provide assistance for non-pedestrian mobility, but inside narrow indoor spaces, holonomic ones are required. While they adapt well to complex environments, it is harder to control them via a conventional joystick. Thus, extra buttons and/or knobs are included to decide what to do. To make control more intuitive, we propose to use a Wiimote for holonomic wheelchair control. Experiments in a narrow environment have been succesful and prove that Wiimote requires less interaction to achieve the same results that a conventional joystick. This has been reported to reduce mental workload and, hence, allow more relaxed interaction with the wheelchair. |
